Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The magical world is many times larger than the human world.

The number of monsters there is naturally many times greater than that in the passage between the two worlds.

The magical beasts in the passage between the two worlds were either sucked in during the early stages of the spatial rift's formation, or they strayed into the Star Vortex Gate over the years.

The number of these magical beasts is naturally insignificant compared to the native magical beasts of the magical world.

Although Ren Tianque explored the magical world for five years, he actually faced many difficulties in the first four and a half years, only able to move around in a small safe area.

It's easy to imagine that for a high-level mage in a magical world where super-level magical beasts roam freely and high-level magical beasts are as insignificant as dogs, let alone completing the exploration, it would be difficult to even survive.

In fact, Ren Tianque's survival was a result of both strength and luck.

It was only after Ren Tianque was finally promoted to a transcendent mage half a year ago that he was able to have fewer concerns and be a little bolder in stepping out of the relatively safe area to explore more distant places.

Ren Tianque is indeed a top-tier genius, because he became a transcendent mage before the age of thirty, making him undoubtedly the youngest transcendent mage in the current mage world.

Only after Wang Yi truly steps into the realm of the extraordinary can he break this record again.

However, it is undeniable that the rich magic of the magical world, as well as the frequent life-or-death battles with magical beasts, greatly helped Ren Tianque advance in his cultivation.

If Ren Tianque wanted to become a transcendent mage in the human world, it would probably take several more years.

As for Ren Tianque's statement that "hope is slim," it is naturally because Star Gates are extremely rare in the magical world.

Although the number of Star Gates is definitely the same in both worlds, the density will be relatively lower in the vast magical world.

Moreover, once a spatial rift appears in the human world, it will be recorded immediately.

Even if spatial rifts appear in remote, uninhabited areas, once a stable Star Gate is formed, magical beasts will continuously rush out, and sooner or later humans will discover it and find the location of the Star Gate.

However, no one has recorded the Star Gate in the magical world.

The Star Gates of the 'Bridge' level interdimensional passages are only three or four meters long, the Star Gates of the 'World' level interdimensional passages are only about ten meters long, and although the Star Gates of the 'Abyss' level interdimensional passages are the largest, even reaching nearly a hundred meters, there are only fourteen of them in total so far.

In a magical world where even a random tree can be hundreds of meters tall, mountains are steep and the land is vast and boundless, even a Star Gate that is thousands of meters tall would be difficult to spot unless you get very close.

"In the past five years, I have only encountered one Star Gate."

Ren Tianque sighed and explained to Wang Yi:

"Although the area I initially operated in during the first five years was not large, I deliberately expanded my exploration range after becoming a transcendent mage."

"Even if it wasn't a meticulous search inch by inch, with the assistance of soul power, we roughly explored nearly half of China's area."

"There are more than two hundred passages between the two realms of China and the West, but so far, I have only found one here."

"one?"

Wang Yi frowned deeply.

The reason Wang Yi spared Tianque's life during the battle was because he wanted to find out the location of the passage between the two worlds.

Unexpectedly, Ren Tianque only knew one.

"What level of interdimensional passage?" Wang Yi asked.

"The 'Bridge' level, the Star Gate is a little over three and a half meters in diameter," Ren Tianque replied.

Wang Yi sighed silently to himself.

He's at the "Bridge" level; he's currently a high-level mage, so he can't enter at all.

It would have to be at least a 'realm' level interdimensional passage for Wang Yi to return to the human world.

This is assuming Wang Yi doesn't advance to the extraordinary level. If Wang Yi were to accidentally advance to the extraordinary level as a mage, then in the entire magical world, there would only be fourteen 'Abyss' level interdimensional passages that could serve as bridges to carry Wang Yi back.

Therefore, it seems unlikely that a passage between the two worlds will be found to return in the short term.

"You didn't even know the location of the Star Gate in Zeyuan, where you were stationed back then?" Wang Yi suddenly thought of Zeyuan when Ren Tianque came in.

Ren Tianque shook his head: "Back then, I had just entered the magic world and didn't know any of the directions. I was chased by that super-level magical beast for half a day. With constant leaps, I ran more than tens of thousands of kilometers. How could I possibly find the location of the Star Vortex Gate?"

Wang Yi looked up at the enormous sun, which was already setting behind some unknown mountain, and nodded in understanding.

Having traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, which is equivalent to traveling across several parts of China, it's perfectly normal that it can't find its location.

Even with a strong sense of direction, it's only useful in the world you're used to. Here, we don't even know if the sun rises in the east or sets in the west, so there's no way to determine direction.

Even if you know the direction, it doesn't matter. Tens of thousands of kilometers, even if the angle is slightly off, the final difference will be countless kilometers.

Moreover, let alone directions, Wang Yi was new here and didn't even know how many hours were in a day.

However, time is not a major issue. Wang Yi's virtual world has an electronic clock, and even if it is affected, there is a mechanical clock as a backup.

The timing might not be very precise, but at least it gave Wang Yi a general understanding of the passage of time in the human world.

It is clear that Ren Tianque also had something similar for keeping track of time, because the five years Ren Tianque mentioned were indeed the time that had passed since he disappeared in Zeyuan, not the five years he spent in the magic world.

Who knows if there are four seasons here? It can't be that Ren Tianque observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated the time by himself.

Although Ren Tianque only knew of a "bridge" level interdimensional passage, Wang Yi was not powerless to utilize it.

"My name is Wang Yi."

After talking with Ren Tianque for so long and confirming that Ren Tianque's thinking was still relatively normal, Wang Yi began to introduce himself.

"I come from Lanling City in China, and like you, I am a descendant of the Tianfu Army."

Ren Tianque suddenly looked up; Wang Yi's words undoubtedly shocked him.

Of course, besides being shocked, Ren Tianque couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

It's too much of a coincidence that they're both Chinese, and even more so, they're all descendants of the Tianfu Army.

"Of course, I know it's hard for you to believe, but I have evidence."

Wang Yi opened up the virtual realm and took out a tablet from it, turning it on.

Fortunately, the electronic devices turned on normally in the magical world, but there was definitely no internet.

This tablet was used by Wang Yi when he was taking classes with Teachers Da Yu and Xiao Yu. It contained a lot of learning materials (serious learning materials).

However, since the accounts are all the same, the photo albums are also synchronized.

Wang Yi opened the photo album and searched for a while, finally finding a few group photos. Then she turned the tablet around and brought it close to Ren Tianque.

"You must know the dean, right? There will be deans in July and August too."

The photo shows Wang Yi, Xu Jun, Qi Xiaohao, Hu Lili, Ji Qiyue, Ji Yuechu, and Dean Zhang Wei.
